The Roberta Martin Singers were an African-American gospel group based in the United States. The group was founded in 1933 by Roberta Martin, who in that same year had just become acquainted with gospels music, which was different from the traditional spirituals which were popular at the time. Theodore Frye and Thomas A. Dorsey were directing a junior choir at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois, and asked Martin to serve as the accompanist.

The Roberta Martin Singers were signed to the Nashboro, Fidelity, Apollo, Specialty, Vee Jay and Savoy labels among others. Sadly, much of this excellent material is now exceedingly difficult to find -with the exception of Malaco's excellent Best Of collection. Gloria Griffen and Lucy Smith up front harmonizing on "Be Still My Soul" sends tingles up the spine and the group's sensational rendering of the melodic hymn drives hard into the soul. Among several hits are "No Other Help I Know", with lead by both Martin and Griffin (who frequently wrote material for the group), and "Standing On The Promises" with Eugene Smith out front. Hold The Light", with its rollicking, rolling piano and rhythm support, is one of those songs you just never want to hear end.
